Hi Sunandan,
This is a clever shot, a created shot, created with passion and intensity to show that you can capture quality stuff.
If you minutely observe then you will find that the plane of focus is slightly different from the water drops.
to check the working of your lens, mark the leaves/subject in advance where you want to focus, then focus on that mark with precision.......click.
If 8 out of 10 times the focus is at that particular mark, then the lens is correct, otherwise ask the vendor to change the lens.
The black border suits the mood here and is aperfect choice.
Regards,
Rajeev
